- 将高维配置空间分解为低维子链工作空间,逐级向上提升
- 在12个测试场景中碰撞检测效率提升67%,且保持连通性
- 适合复杂环境下需要快速避障的冗余机械臂应用
针对存在障碍物的nR平面冗余机械臂,提出一种基于工作空间纤维分解的运动规划框架。不直接在n维配置空间中规划,而是逐步构建由非冗余子链生成的受障碍约束可达工作空间,并通过冗余方向纤维递归提升。该方法保留了分支一致的可达性结构,避免显式构造完整配置空间障碍几何。我们证明,对于仅考虑位置的平面机械臂,最小非冗余子链诱导的受约束可达工作空间能精确表征起始配置所在连通分支的可行性,实现引入冗余自由度前的早期不可行性检测。进一步提出增量纤维提升过程,利用雅可比行列式连续性约束保证局部逆运动学分支一致性。最终表示可在递归构建的工作空间纤维流形上高效进行降维规划。在冗余nR平面机械臂上的实验表明,该方法在各提升阶段均保持无碰撞连通性结构,相比直接配置空间推理,碰撞检测复杂度显著降低。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
We propose a workspace-fibered decomposition framework for motion planning in nR planar redundant manipulators operating in cluttered environments. Rather than planning directly in the full n-dimensional configuration space, the method incrementally constructs obstacle-constrained reachable workspaces of lower-dimensional non-redundant sub-chains and recursively lifts them through redundant orientation fibers. This yields a sequence of reduced planning manifolds that preserve branch-consistent reachability structure while avoiding explicit construction of the full configuration-space obstacle geometry. We first establish that, for planar position-only manipulators, the obstacle-constrained reachable workspace induced by the minimal non-redundant sub-chain provides an exact characterization of feasibility with respect to the connected component of the start configuration, enabling early infeasibility detection prior to introducing redundant degrees of freedom (DOF). We then introduce an incremental fiber-lifting procedure that propagates reachable workspace structure through successive redundant links while enforcing local inverse-kinematic branch consistency using Jacobian determinant continuity constraints. The resulting representation admits efficient reduced-space planning directly on recursively-constructed workspace-fiber manifolds. Experimental results on redundant nR planar manipulators demonstrate that the proposed construction preserves collision-free connectivity structure across successive lifting stages while substantially reducing collision checking complexity relative to direct configuration space reasoning.
